The required spring constant:

The spring constant of the spring is 12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}.

Calculation:

The mass of the car is m=1200 kg, the speed of the car is v=25 m/s, and after colliding the spring is brought to rest at a distance of x=2.5m. Let the spring constant of the spring is, k.

From the conservation of energy,

Total initial kinetic energy= Total final potential energy of the spring

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Now, substituting the values of the mass of the car, speed of the car, and displacement, we get:

$$\begin{aligned}1200\times(25)^2&=k\times (2.5)^2\\\Rightarrow k&=\frac{1200\times(25)^2}{(2.5)^2}\\&=12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}\end{aligned}$$

A force of 350N is applied to a body. If the work done is 40kJ, what is the distance through which the body moved?
Studentka2010 [4]

The distance covered by the body is 114.3 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force exerted on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the object in this problem, we have

F = 350 N is the force applied

W=40 kJ = 40,000 J is the work done

\theta=0^{\circ} if we assume that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object

Solving for d, we find the distance covered by the object:

d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{40,000}{(350)(cos 0)}=114.3 m
